Description

Fix basic rewritung

Currently the HTTP vhost (NOT the HTTPS vhost) basically does this:

RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

This creates a certificate warning when accessing http://chiliproject.com, as it forwards to https://chiliproject.com, but our certificate is only valid for chiliproject.org and www.chiliproject.org. Also, it doesn't fully handle redirects as Google expects it. Currently, chiliproject.net is shown in a search for chiliproject.

I propose the following change:

RewriteRule (.*) https://www.chiliproject.org/%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

The result can be checked with a 

curl -v http://chiliproject.com

The contents of the Location header should be https://chiliproject.org/ and the HTTP status code of the answer should be 301.

Add additional domains for rewriting

All available domains should be rewritten. Ideally we would use that rewrite-rule for all requests that could not be handled in any other way. If that is not possible, at least the following domains should be in ServerAlias.

It looks like it is configured right for the HTTPS site but not the HTTP site.

# HTTP

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName www.chiliproject.org

  ServerAlias chiliproject.org chiliproject.com www.chiliproject.com

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/server-status
  RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

</VirtualHost>

# HTTPS
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
  ...
  ServerName www.chiliproject.org

  ServerAlias chiliproject.org chiliproject.com www.chiliproject.com

  RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.chiliproject.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.chiliproject.org$1 [R=301,L]
  ...

Holger:

I think I got it configured with a change to the HTTP rewrites and removing the .com from the domain aliases. The vhost is using catchall virtual hosts so any domain should hit the app. Any non-.org HTTPS request will present a certificate error but I have all of the HTTP requests going directly to HTTPS .org.
